“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”. – John 1:1 (KJV)
When a child is obedient to his father, he earns the trust of the father. Over time he becomes the voice of his father because of the trust.
This is what God expects of us as His children. That is why He asked Adam to name every beast of the field and every fowl of the air. Let’s see Genesis 2:19(KJV) “And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof”.
But for a child to continue to earn the trust of his father, he must remain obedient. Hence God states clearly in Ecclesiastes 12:13(KJV) “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man”.
So when we perform our function of obedience, then God will back us up at all times. That is why Jesus says in John 8:29(KJV) “And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him”.
That explains why He is the WORD. EVERYTHING THAT HE SPEAKS TAKES ON NATURE. HE IS COMPLETELY OBEDIENT TO THE FATHER. And AUTHORITY is derived from OBEDIENCE! See John 1:1 (KJV) “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God “.
So whatever we want to achieve in life is possible and can be decreed into existence if only we are completely obedient to God.
Prayer: Almighty God, please give me the grace to be completely obedient to your word in Jesus name.
